10 Reasons your 20 year (yes, we said 20) reunion is the event NOT to be missed!
1. You'll laugh, cry, and reminisce with some of your oldest and best friends.
2. You don't have to lie about your age!
3. Feel better realizing you're not the only one who's been married, divorced, married, divorced, and is still looking!
4. Of the many alumni coming to their first reunion, you can make them feel fully appreciated for finally showing up!
5. Rekindle or begin new relationships.
6. Even if you had some negative experiences in high school, don't fret about it. After all, it is 20 years later, so laugh about it!
7. Use the reunion as an opportunity to lose weight and shape up! (too late for those of us who have already posted pictures!! haha!)
8. Humor the committee. They're usually a bunch of deluted die hards who think everyone should show up to appreciate all of their efforts! (not us!)
9. Ideally, reunions evoke wonderful memories and jovial reminiscing. How can you refuse that??
10. And finally, studies have shown that those initally hesitant about attending their reunions discover that it was the event they wouldn't have missed for the world!
If you're not coming to the reunion, you must have a good excuse, and a signed note from a parent or guardian. Keep in mind, the following excuses have been tried, and are unacceptable.
Excuse #1: I'm a different person now than I was in High School.
Rebuttal: You're not alone, we ALL are! Let's face it. Look at our yearbook, we could only have improved.
Excuse #2: I'm overweight.
Rebuttal: You're not alone! What's 20-50 pounds between friends?
Excuse #3: I don't look as good as I'd like. I'm (choose one) bald, have wrinkles, have saddlebags, have grey hair, and no one will recognize me.
Rebuttal: Guess what? You won't recognize anyone either! Don't believe me? Take a look at our yearbook pictures. We all look like the 'before' picture on an Oprah makeover show!
Excuse #4: I'm not as successful as I would like to be. I'm not......
Rebuttal: You'd be surprised how much everyone has matured. We may be plump and wrinkled (see excuses #2 and #3), but we're not stupid. We know money and success don't always equal happiness.
Excuse #5: I didn't know many people very well, and I don't talk to anyone from high school anymore.
Rebuttal: This would be a perfect opportunity to change that!
Excuse #6: I was glad to leave that place. Too many cliques!!
Rebuttal: Come on now. It's been 20 years. The only "clicks" you'll notice at the reunion will be the sound of our joints as we walk around!
You know what they say about being in your 30's......just when you get your mind together, your body starts falling apart! So if you're not in the best shape of your life, haven't attained millionaire status, don't want to be bothered with the "cliques", or are contemplating not coming for any reason......you're not alone!
The bottom line- Do you have a "good excuse" not to attend? The obvious answer is NO!
We really hope to see you all there!!
